in the repository at that point in time not just what he/she checked in.

Why does each node need the globalrevisionid? why not just keep that ID
on the root node?

If you move the revisionid to a single node then this shouldn't be an issue.

unneccesary revision in the repository.

I think that have 1 instance of the revisionid will solve all your issues.
